All the wiring apears to be hooked up right and all the connections are tight. Yet I have no lights. Has this happened to anyone else? What was the fix?

Did you use a volt meter to figure that out?

Most of the time the plug on the balast in fliped the wrong way. As many can be pluged on with +to-.

Had a friend installer call be and say he worked on a set of hids for hours and everything metered right but no go in the car. fliped the plug and they worked. He was happy it wasn't his wireing but pissed the hid company did that

Try flipping the connector to the ballasts as suggested. I do recommend you to get a relay harness so the HIDs are powered off the battery instead of the factory wiring. I run the harness for all my cars and never had any issues.
